Second grade - Winter cabins

Big Ideas:  Aritst: Pieter Brugel the Elder, Form & Simple Perspective

Our Second grade art curriculum focuses on creating form and an illusion of space.  We did this in unit 1 with out dessert drawings learning to draw the top and sides of a cylinder and how to add value (light and dark areas) within an object.  In this lesson we take it a bit further by learning how to draw a shape with multiple sides and how to create the illusion of depth by making items appear smaller as they go back into space.  Our inspiration for this project was the artist Pieter Brugel the Elder.  He beautifully creates depth in his painted landscapes and also manages to use them to tell a story about the lives of those in his works.
